Chapter 659 I Propose to Ban Them All!

"It seems that today, it won't be over for a while."

Wang Changtian whispered to Lin Nan. The faces of the leaders above were extremely serious.

Lin Nan nodded subconsciously, of course he could see it.

The bureau has been at the center of the storm these days, and people are scolding it online.

When it is said that action should be taken, it never takes action; when it is not necessary to take action, it bans this and that, kills scripts and deletes movies, and never shows mercy.

In fact, everyone knows:

When the vicious and stubborn diseases in the entertainment industry accumulate over time and the public's complaints are about to break through the critical point, the top must respond.

Maybe, it will be today?

There were nine people sitting on the rostrum, several of whom held the title of deputy director. Director Tong, who was sitting in the middle, spoke first:

"The film and television industry is an industry that stands under the spotlight. All practitioners should set an example, spread positive energy to the general public, and play a positive and progressive leading role."

"But over the years, many of our film and television practitioners, actors, artists, directors, etc., as public figures with great social influence, have never set an example.

Instead, they are constantly involved in gangs, pornography, prostitution, drugs... breaking the law, and becoming more and more unscrupulous and worse... The film and television culture industry is a disaster area..."

This is the argument from the beginning, and everyone in the venue felt a little nervous and knew what was going on.

Today's topic, or the direct fuse, is the matter of Huang Bo's good friend.

"...This high frequency of illegal and criminal acts by public figures has caused serious adverse effects and negative orientations to the public, so that public opinion is in an uproar and the masses are outraged...

More and more people resist, condemn, and hate... They believe that the film and television culture industry is a place where filth and cancer are everywhere."

Director Tong stopped and slowed down when he said this.

At this moment, there was only the sound of swallowing saliva in the meeting room, and the silence was terrifying.

Lin Nan observed that the expressions on everyone's faces were very solemn.

As for whether they were filled with righteous indignation, or terrified, or wandering in the sky, it was unknown.

In short, 99% of the people are veterans of meetings. But today, no one can escape!

"...The people present here are representatives of the entire film and television culture industry. Today, we have called everyone here to discuss how to deal with this kind of "stubborn disease" and "cancer" in the industry... We can't take it so lightly anymore!"

Okay, the sentence "We can't take it so lightly anymore" instantly cheered everyone up.

Above, is this going to be operated on?

Low but noisy voices gradually rose in the field, and the association was the loudest.

"Lin Nan, we will all have to speak up soon, right?"

Wang Changtian looked at the people on the left and said softly.

"There are laws to punish crimes."

Wang Zhonglei on the right suddenly said this, and the meaning is worth considering.

"It's not our turn to speak first. Here, the first row of national leaders, presidents, vice presidents, and secretaries of major associations, they go first."

Lin Nan said indifferently, but he was actually a little nervous.

Sure enough, it was Director La who spoke first.

"China Film proposes to severely punish public figures who violate laws and disciplines, and appropriately restrict the performing careers of such people..."

With Director La taking the lead and the leaders' roll call, everyone on the scene officially began to express their opinions.

"Public figures are also human beings, and human beings will make mistakes. Even if they violate the law and commit crimes, there are legal sanctions. Besides, the film and television industry does not have a similar punishment system. Why should we punish others? Why should we restrict personal work and careers?"

Well, the Performing Arts Association was quite tough and directly refuted Mr. La.

"Shanghai Film supports increasing the intensity of punishment, but opposes continuing to target personal behavior after public figures have accepted legal sanctions."

"Xiying, I support Mr. La's suggestion."

...

"The Film Association means that as long as it is an individual, they should be given at least one chance to reform. But there must be punishment, and the alarm bell will ring."

"Hold more meetings and learn more, so that other practitioners can learn from it. Just like actors and artists who have made mistakes, remember the past and learn from it."

Damn, Lin Nan couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

The speeches of the Screenwriters Association are really interesting, one set after another, and they are as smelly as farts.

Oh, Lin Nan remembered that there seemed to be many screenwriters who "look for inspiration"!

Over at the association, one by one stood up to speak and then sat down.

At first glance, they all sounded very high-sounding, but after careful analysis, they were no different from taking it easy.

How to "increase the intensity of punishment" and "deal with it strictly and severely"? If you want to expand it in detail, that is another topic!

"What is Director Lin's attitude?" Just as the director was speaking, Wang Zhonglei next to him asked abruptly.

Many people around pricked up their ears, ready to listen to what Lin Nan had to say.

"Me? I'll talk about it when it's my turn later."

"I still think we should deal with the matter at hand and treat it separately, and we shouldn't implicate others. What do you think, Director Lin?" Wang Zhonglei's mask came out again.

"Is this Huayi's point of view? Haha." Lin Nan laughed softly.

So far, the heaviest words in today's conference were said by President La, but they were only "appropriate restrictions on acting careers."

Lin Nan noticed that several people on the rostrum looked more serious than at the beginning.

The directors' team was still going on.

Chen Kaige, Li Shaohong and others supported the association;

Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke and some academicians were vague;

Feng Xiaogang, Gu Changwei, Wang Xiaoshuai and most others basically did not offend anyone and supported giving public figures a chance to turn back.

Jiang Wen, on the other hand, usually laughed and scolded, but this time he was unusually serious.

He chose to support La Dong, and it seemed that he had struggled in his heart.

The actor representatives were all veterans, and their words were very cautious: listen to the leader.

…

Near noon, more than half of the people had already spoken.

The deepest feeling Lin Nan had at today's conference was: No one wants to be a bad guy! No one wants to offend people! No one wants to go against the circle!

There are too many things involved.

The film and entertainment industry is like a big net, which catches all the favors, connections, interests, channels, cakes... Ninety-nine percent of people are bound in it, and they are willing to be bound.

Finally, we came to the film and television company team, which is also the last and most important part.

"Private film and television companies are the most important link in the industry. Can you talk about it?"

Tong Ju's voice was a little hoarse, and he was probably in a bad mood at the moment.

Mr. La glanced back at Lin Nan, and the meaning was very clear: be cautious, don't be "too radical" in this kind of thing.

Lin Nan was also helpless, he really had a lot of complaints, and he couldn't help but vent them.

Mr. La was going to be disappointed.

Wang Changtian didn't take the lead, but Bo Na competed with Hua Yi for the first place.

But Fatty Yu still couldn't compete with Wang Zhonglei, who was tacitly allowed to speak first.

"Artists who commit crimes should be punished by law. They will also bear this stain, which cannot be washed away. But in my opinion, this is not a reason to interfere with their future careers.

The audience can refuse to accept them and boycott them, and the market will naturally eliminate them. But official intervention may indeed be somewhat unreasonable..."

At first glance, Wang Zhonglei's words seem to be correct, but in fact they are not.

There is a "weapon" called a press release, and there is a phenomenon called public opinion.

Capital can manipulate public opinion and brainwash the public. Whether the audience boycotts the artists who have committed crimes can be completely influenced.

Once the story is written, the character is established, and the press release is overwhelming, it will be another image of a prodigal son who has returned to the right path, and the popularity will even rise to a higher level!

"Bona, I agree with Mr. Wang's point of view."

"Mr. Wang's words make sense, and Chengtian supports it."

"Xingmei supports..."

"Hairun supports..."

"Ali supports..."

"Wanda supports..."

...

Lin Nan put his hands on his face and rubbed it. It was very cold and he was a little sober.

The situation at the scene made him feel very powerless. Is it so "united"?

Just when Wang Changtian was about to stand up, Lin Nan pulled him with his left hand, and the former understood instantly and let Lin Nan go first.

"I propose to ban them all!"

Lin Nan's voice spread throughout the venue, like a bomb thrown in and exploded.

Hundreds of people at the scene looked at him in unison, and most of them looked incredible and as if they had seen a ghost.

Wang Changtian, Wang Zhonglei, Yu Dong, Ye Ning... Ning Hao, all looked stunned.

La Dong showed a helpless smile and shook his head gently.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou and others were all very surprised, but smiled in response.

Director Tong above looked around, raised his head, and looked at Lin Nan.

"Hmm? You are still the most radical one today, tell me in detail."

Lin Nan was not polite and cleared his throat.

"Involved in gangs, pornography, prostitution, drugs... these public figures are all considered bad artists. Ordinary people who break the law and commit crimes must be punished, and so are public figures.

But compared with ordinary people, they are very different. They enjoy the spotlight and earn film pay that ordinary people can't imagine in several lifetimes!

After committing a crime, they still want to come back to the bright lights and make a lot of money. Why? They haven't fulfilled their responsibilities as public figures, but they don't want to give up the benefits..."

"Director Lin, your statement is too much. Why do you have to beat them to death with one stick?" Wang Zhonglei interrupted Lin Nan.

"Haha, I didn't beat them to death with one stick either? The society is so big, there are all walks of life, why do these people only see the film and television entertainment industry?

Don't mention passion. If you love this profession, you won't abuse this industry. They love the circle to make money!"

Lin Nan responded sharply to Wang Zhonglei, who was speechless for a while.

He continued to add:

"Not to mention the art majors of other universities, just the Beijing Film Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and the Beijing Dance Academy, there are countless students struggling at the bottom, with no way to advance, no opportunities. The same is true in the circle.

We have never lacked young people and industry insiders with talent, morality, and potential. Why should we let these bad artists occupy positions, harm the entire industry, and affect reputation?

No one else is targeting them, they are targeting themselves. The film and television culture industry is very special and has a positive guidance responsibility for society. This is not suitable for bad artists. If they leave this industry, they can develop in other industries."

...

"Bad artists?"

Director Tong muttered the word playfully.

Everyone looked at Lin Nan, who had just finished his long speech, with different expressions. It is certain that most people were gritting their teeth, glaring at him, and cursing him in their hearts.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you are saying?" Wang Changtian said sternly, lowering his voice.

Then, Lao Wang seemed to have made a difficult decision and glared at Lin Nan.

"Guangguang, support Director Lin Nan's proposal."

"Well, Bad Monkey and I support Lin Nan."

Ning Hao smiled at Lin Nan with a face full of flesh. His teeth were white, but his smile was a bit like crying. Well, he actually wore a big gold chain today, very handsome!

"The Film Association opposes Lin Nan's proposal. Such a one-size-fits-all approach is too arbitrary and irresponsible."

"The Performing Arts Association opposes... It's too much to kill people."

"The Directors Association opposes."

...

"The Actors Association opposes."

"The Screenwriters Association opposes."

"Huayi opposes."

"Bona opposes."

...

"Wanda...anything is fine."

...

Although some people feel that change is needed, they cannot accept Lin Nan's point of view for a while and choose to remain silent.

But the unanimous opposition on the field is more uniform, more numerous, and louder than the voices supporting Wang Zhonglei just now, accounting for almost 70%.

"Today I was tricked by you. This is offending the entire film and television industry! Cutting off people's financial resources..."

Wang Changtian muttered to himself on the side.

"Director Lin, you went too far today. You are also a member of the circle. Do you dare to guarantee that your people will be foolproof in the future?"

"I can guarantee it!"

Lin Nan glanced at Yu Dong and said it without hesitation.

The field has become completely chaotic, all because of Lin Nan's words: ban them all!

If someone else said this, everyone would just treat it as a joke, because it didn't carry much weight, but it was different when Lin Nan said it.

He is the top director in the mainland, internationally renowned, with a top film and television company, and capital, so he has too much say and influence in the industry.

If the higher-ups really adopt his suggestions, the film and television industry will change. This is flipping the table!

Lin Nan saw Director La turning around and shaking his head.

At this time, Director Tong finally spoke again after discussing with the people around him.

"Quiet."

"Today, the view of the vast majority of people is to increase the intensity of industry penalties and deal with them strictly and severely in addition to legal sanctions. After coming down, the bureau will carefully consider it..."

Lin Nan was stunned, and Wang Changtian and Ning Hao were also sighing.

Director Tong didn't mention Lin Nan and his "all ban" suggestion in his words, but only said the view of the vast majority of people, that is, give them another chance, reform themselves and start over!

What the hell?

At this moment, Lin Nan felt as if everyone around him was laughing at him. That feeling of powerlessness and frustration is really unpleasant!

"It's almost noon, let's end the meeting here today."
